How Long Will My AC Last?

There are a lot of steps when it comes to replacing an air conditioner. If you take care of your’s then it will in turn take care of you. Unfortunately, no piece of machinery lasts forever and air conditioners are hardly exclusive to that. So, how long do air conditioners last? Air conditioners can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years. That’s a massive range of time, but when you realize the factors that go into determining the lifespan of an air conditioner it will make more sense.

Geographical factors

Where you live can be a huge factor in determining how long your air conditioner will last. Places near the coast tend to have a lot of saltwater in the air. This can wreak havoc on an air conditioner. If you live in a hot arid place it can also be just as bad. Extreme heat and constant running can also shorten the lifespan of air conditioners.

Brand name

If your air conditioner is a brand-name unit then you’re in luck. Businesses such as Trane, Goodman, and Lennox have been making Air conditioners for a long time and have the system down. You can expect quality these units.

Installation

Who installed your air conditioner and how also plays an important role. If you had superior installation from a company such as us, then you can expect a longer lifespan. If whoever had installed your unit did a poor job then that also carries a risk.

Use

How often do you use your air conditioner? If you only use it when necessary then you’re on the right track. Using your air conditioner in unnecessary conditions can lead to a shortened lifespan.
